June 30: Joining 11-time Grammy-nominated Dierks Bentley, Dean Brody and LANCO, will be multi-Canadian Country Music Award winners Emerson Drive, Ethridge for his second time on the main stage and Haggarty, who previously appeared on the side stage.

Canada Day: Dustin Lynch and Tim Hicks will be joined by American Chase Rice and Canadian hockey player turned singer Jojo Mason, Midnight Shine and Runaway Angel, a trio that includes Londoner Stacey Zegers with Ann Chaplin and Cadence Grace.
